50 years of Polferries, 30 years of cooperation

50 years of Polferries, 60 years of PKS Gdańsk Oliwa and 25 years of promy24.com

Anniversaries that combine experience and long-term cooperation

The year 2026 is a special time for the maritime transport and logistics industry. Polska Żegluga Bałtycka – Polferries is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and this anniversary has become an opportunity for meetings, discussions and summaries during events in which the PKS Gdańsk Oliwa SA team also participated last weekend.

This is a special moment for our company. In the same year, PKS Gdańsk Oliwa is celebrating 60 years of operation, and our brand promy24.com is celebrating its 25th anniversary on the market. What is more, we have been cooperating with Polferries continuously for 30 years, jointly developing solutions for road and maritime transport.

 


Polferries – 50 years of stability in the Baltic Sea

Five decades of Polska Żegluga Bałtycka’s activity is a story of consistent development, investment and the ability to adapt to changing market realities. For years, Polferries has played a key role in ferry services and transport ferries, connecting Poland with Scandinavia and supporting international supply chains.

It is also an example of a Polish company based on Polish capital that successfully competes in the demanding European ferry market.


30 years of cooperation – a joint course for development

For PKS Gdańsk Oliwa, Polferries’ anniversary has a special significance. Three decades of cooperation mean hundreds of thousands of completed crossings, joint responses to market changes and the development of services that meet the real needs of international transport.

As Rafał Olszewski, President of the Management Board of PKS Gdańsk Oliwa SA, emphasises:

50 years is a wonderful age – I offer my heartfelt congratulations and look with great respect at the path that Polska Żegluga Bałtycka (Polferries) has travelled over these decades. Such an anniversary is proof of consistency, experience and the ability to adapt to changing market realities. I am particularly pleased that we are talking about a Polish company based on Polish capital – today, this is a real value, not just a slogan.


Ferry crossings and ferries for heavy transport – the pillar of logistics

Modern international logistics cannot function without efficient sea connections. Ferry crossings for transport are now a natural extension of road transport – they shorten transit times, increase the predictability of deliveries and allow independence from land infrastructure limitations.

At PKS Gdańsk Oliwa and promy24.com, we have been specialising in the organisation of ferry crossings and ferries for transport for years, integrating them with road and intermodal transport and customer logistics services.


25 years of promy24.com – experience that pays off

The year 2026 also marks the 25th anniversary of promy24.com – one of the most recognisable ferry crossing agencies in Poland. For a quarter of a century, we have been supporting carriers and logistics companies in planning and implementing ferry transport on key European routes.

Thanks to its experience, stable relationships with shipowners and knowledge of the specifics of heavy transport, promy24.com has become an important part of the integrated offer of PKS Gdańsk Oliwa.


Course for the future

Looking to the future, we hope that initiatives such as the POLSCA project will strengthen the position of Polferries and the entire ferry segment in the Baltic Sea, enabling it to compete effectively with the largest European shipowners.
